Making and Receiving Telephone Calls In Puerto Vallarta

It never ceases to amaze me how difficult such a simple thing like making or receiving a phone call in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico can be.

I have found myself in frustrating situations on more than one occasion trying to place a phone call and not being able to.

Once you figure out the basics it will become a little easier, just a little!

If you are planning to bring your smart-phone to Puerto Vallarta on your vacation make sure to change your settings, turn off your package included Internet, and manually connect to the available Internet from your Hotel.

I have heard too many horror stories of friends returning home from their vacation and getting their next phone bill with hundreds of dollars incurred while they were using their phone in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico.

My personal recommendation is to use your phone with a local Internet connection only!

Note that many restaurants, bars and beach clubs have internet and will provide their guests with their password to connect to the internet, you just have to ask. “Tienes Wi-Fi Aqui?”

There are different sequences of numbers to use when placing a phone call depending on whether you are placing the call from a land-line or from a cell phone. Follow the instructions below!
